How to connect an ESXi host with dual NICs to switch to avoid loops with EVE-NG

[kmueller68]

Hello.

We have installed EVE-NG Pro on an ESXi host connected to a LAN switch with 2x 10G NICs.
The ESXi vDS has the following default load blanacing configuration: "Route based on the originating virtual port".

We get a traffic loop with this setup, when broadcast packets like "DHCP Discover" leave the EVE-NG VM into the LAN to reach out to the DHCP server.

Could you please help me, how we have to configure the ESXi host connections to the LAN switch to avoid this loop situation.


Thank you very much,
Karl
